Founded in1851, the paper has become a symbol of American media, having documented landmark periods in U. S. history. Maintaining an online daily circulation of close to 3 million, The New York Times is one of the most viewed news sites, with one of the largest followings on the social networking site Twitter. ●BBC Headquarters: London, United Kingdom Founded:1922 First launched as a competitor to Sky News in 1997, the British Broadcasting Corporation(BBC) grew into one of the world’s largest broadcast news organizations, known for its radio, television, and online news coverage. Established by Royal Charter in 1922, the BBC appointed its first Director-General, Sir John Reith, whose legacy, nearly a century later, enabled the British media’s domination (主宰) as one of the most visited websites with its online news service. As a whole, its brand (品牌) is a hallmark symbol of British media, with a global weekly audience of 400 million and its figures on social media considered one of the largest relative to other leading mainstream media. ●People’s Daily Headquarters: Beijing, China Founded:1948 In China the People’s Daily, its largest newspaper, functions with a daily print circulation of 3 million. Serving the interests of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the paper also publishes through other editions (版本), including in English, French, Japanese, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish. Its digital edition, the People’s Daily Online, launched in 1997, is the biggest Chinese news media on the web, with a considerable following on social media. ●RT Headquarters: Moscow, Russia Founded:2005 In June of 2005, a 25-year-old Russian-Armenian journalist held a press briefing to publicize the launch of RT, formerly known as Russia Today. The journalist, Margarita Simonyan, who serves as editor-in-chief, went on to lead what many can say is the most outstanding English-speaking news media in Russia, with a global weekly viewership of over 100 million.RT.com, known by some as a straight-to-the-point news site, operates in many regions of the world. Its presence on social media is also one of the vastest. RT’s YouTube presence continues to grow, with millions of subscribers and approximately seven billion views across all its channels. 21. Which of the four media has the longest history? A. BBC. B. The New York Times. C. RT. D. People’s Daily. 22. What enables BBC’s domination as one of the most visited news websites? A. Its first Director-General. B. Its wide coverage. C. Its successful change. D. Its famous brand. 23. What do the four media have in common? A. They focus on news and economy. B They share a straight-to-the-point style. C. They’ve published editions in various languages. D. They’ve succeeded as online-based news media. B Growing up as a kid in the UK, I was fascinated by insects. Wanting to protect them, I started building little houses for ants, using little pieces of wood and leaves. I then moved on to making little cups and saucers from silver foil (银箔) for the magical creatures that I thought lived at the bottom of the garden. When my mother saw my work, she told me that the smaller I made things, the bigger my name would become. As the years went by, my designs became more complicated. And I used many different materials, such as diamond fragments, eyelashes and even spider web threads. I sometimes work for 16 hours a day without breaks, and it takes me up to three months to finish a sculpture(雕塑). I have to hold my breath during the sculpting process. It isn’t actually an enjoyable process—I can only enjoy it once I’ve finished it. My sculptures have taken me to incredible places. In 2012, I met the queen, giving her a tiny crown on the head of a pin. In 2013, I received my first Guinness World Record for creating the smallest sculpture made by hand. It was a 24-carat gold motorbike that fitted inside a drilled out hair. In 2017, I beat my record with a sculpture of a human fetus (胎儿) that measured 0.078mm by 0.053mm. One time, a fly landed on a Cinderella carriage sculpture I was working on. The fly’s wings blew it away, and it was lost. I was heartbroken. Another time, I accidentally breathed in a tiny Alice from Alice in Wonderland. Alice is now in Wonderland forever. But it did give me the chance to make an even better one the second time around. I was diagnosed with autism (自闭症) as an adult. In school, my teachers had pointed me out as an example of failure; now, I see my autism as a gift. It’s pushed me to be the best I can be. I hold workshops in schools for children with mental diseases, sharing with them my life and work and helping them create their own small figures out of Blu-Taok. The tiny world has always been my happy place. I’ve tried to make bigger soulptures, but small is best for me. We need to appreciate the little things in life. Small things can also be great, too. 24. Why did the author start making small sculptures? A. To become famous. B. To beat the record. C. To shelter insects. D. To meet the queen. 25. How long can the author work with one sculpture? A. Sixteen hours. B. About a year. C. About two weeks. D. Up to three months. 26. Which best explains the underlined sentence “Alice is now in Wonderland forever.” in paragraph 4? A. Alice gives me a chance to make a better one. B. The tiny Alice is lost and cannot be recovered. C. It takes diverse materials to finish the tiny Alice. D. The wonderland is so attractive that Alice won’t return. 27. What is a suitable title for the text? A. Small but powerful B. My fight with autism C. Have fun with sculpture D. The smaller, the better C Children can work together to reach a target that benefits a whole group even if it is at a personal cost to themselves, a new study has shown. Researchers invited groups of 6 to 10-year-olds to take part in a game where they were each given containers of water and could decide how much of it to offer into a common pool. If the group contributed a certain amount of water, it resulted in benefits for the whole group, but children also obtained benefits for any water they kept. At the same time, the participants were either given feedback about their own outcomes in the game or about everyone’s outcomes. The results showed the majority of groups achieved their objectives and cooperated until the last round of the game, even when children observed the outcomes of others within their groups. However, those who did see everyone’s outcomes were somewhat less likely to keep reaching the target as the game progressed, and differences in individual outcomes became more noticeable. Researchers say the findings provide valuable insights into how groups of people can work together to overcome challenges and demonstrate the effectiveness of setting clear targets. Dr Patricia Kanngiesser, Associate Professor in Psychology at the University of Plymouth and the study’s lead author, said:“A lot of the challenges facing society today involve choices between one’s self-interest and contributing to the greater good. That is certainly the case if we think about things like climate action, where targets can only be achieved if people and nations work together. Our study shows that working towards a clear target can produce results that finally benefit everyone. And even children as young as six can do it.” The study is the latest by Dr Kanngiesser and Plymouth colleague Dr Jan Woike to use games to study human behaviour and explore ways to promote cooperation. It also allowed them to explore findings from previous research, which showed that having the opportunity to compare own and others’ outcomes can lead to competition and decrease willingness to contribute to the common good. For the purposes of this study, children had the opportunity to talk during the game and spoke, for example, about reaching the common goal. 28. Who obtained benefits in the game? A. Only the children who kept some water. B. The children who made it to the last round. C. The participant who contributed the most water. D. The group that contributed the required amount. 29. What’s Kanngiesser’s attitude towards the targets and cooperation? A. Critical. B. Appreciative. C. Indifferent. D. Doubtful. 30. What can we infer from paragraph 5? A. Children have many challenges solving current problems. B. Researchers find valuable insights into the clear targets. C. People work together to achieve goals benefiting everyone. D. People think about climate action affecting their daily life. 31. Why does the author mention Kanngiesser and Woike? A. To offer more context of the study. B. To give examples of great professors. C To encourage studying for the project. D. To get readers to cooperate with them. D Weather researchers are using artificial intelligence (AI) systems to improve existing weather prediction methods. But, experts say the AI tools currently face limitations and should be used along with traditional prediction methods to be most effective. AI systems trained to predict, or forecast weather events are now being used by many government agencies and organizations worldwide. Such systems aim to produce weather predictions faster and at a lower cost than traditional forecasting methods. One weather predicting system that has shown promise is the Google-financed GraphCast method. This machine learning-based system trains directly on weather data that has already been collected and examined. Such methods have demonstrated an ability to outperform traditional forecasting systems. The system works by combining past weather predictions with modern forecasting models to provide the most complete picture of weather and climate. In Europe, the European Center for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) has been using AI prediction tools since January. The organization provides detailed weather forecasts four times per day to nations across Europe. The ECMWF technology is called the Artificial Intelligence/ Integrated Forecasting System(AIFS). The group describes the system as a“data-driven” forecasting model. It is designed to make many predietions quickly, including for extreme events involving powerful storms and heatwaves. AI-supported data from the ECMWF correctly predicted intense rains last month across parts of Europe that resulted in widespread flooding. But while the predictions were right, destruction caused by the flooding could not be avoided. Experts told Reuters this is largely because it is still difficult to gather and fully utilize (利用) some collected weather data. In addition, there is a need to strengthen and improve currentAI models used to predict weather. Andrew Charlton-Perez is a professor of meteorology— the scientific study of weather processes— at the University of Reading in Britain. He told Reuters, “In some cases, AI models can beat physics-based models, but in other cases vice versa (反之亦然).” Charlton- Perez said he thinks the best use of AI-based weather forecasts would be to use them in combination with traditional weather predicting tools. This, he noted, could utilize AI data to produce weather predictions based on large sets of information collected from different sources. 32. What’s the advantage of AI weather predicting system? A. It provides detailed weather forecasts frequently. B. It can avoid extreme events including heatwaves. C. It can predict weather conditions faster at a low cost. D. It is used in all walks of life without limitations. 33. What is the purpose of AIFS? A. To avoid national floods. B. To forecast disaster destruction. C. To provide timely data. D. To predict weather events quickly. 34. What can we know about the prediction of AI-data from the ECMWF? A. It’s perfect. B. It’s precise. C. It’s much easier. D. It’s worldwide. 35. How can AI improve the weather forecast? A. By combining AI with traditional methods. B. By using AI prediction tools collectively. C. By making use of Google Graph Cast method. D. By gathering a lot of current weather data. 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Is studying abroad a good idea or not?

The book was said to be so funny that it could make anyone laugh uncontrollably just by reading a single page. The librarian, a strict woman named Mrs. Pimpleton, guarded the book with her life, only allowing the most serious and responsible villagers to borrow it. One day, a young boy named Timmy, who was known for his infectious laughter, decided he must read this legendary book. He approached Mrs. Pimpleton with the most serious expression he could create. “I am here to borrow the funniest book in the world,” he said with a straight face. Mrs. Pimpleton, who had never seen Timmy without a smile, was surprised. She hesitated but finally handed over the book, warning him, “This book is not to be laughed at in public. The laughter it causes is uncontrollable and could lead to chaos (混乱).” Timmy nodded seriously and took the book home. He locked himself in his room, opened the book, and started reading. The first page was a series of funny jokes. Timmy’s eyes widened, and his lips twitched (颤动) as he tried to hold back the laughter that was popping up inside him. But each joke was more amusing than the last. He tried again to hold back his laughter, pressing his hands against his mouth, but it was no use. He laughed so hard that his belly (肚子) ached. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 His laughter was so loud that it rang through the village. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ In the end, the entire village was in a state of uncontrollable laughter. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 洛阳市2024—2025学年第一学期期中考试 高二英语试卷 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考号等填写在答题卡和试卷指定位置上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 3. 考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What does the man intend to do?

Wanting to protect them, I started building little houses for ants, using little pieces of wood and leaves. I then moved on to making little cups and saucers from silver foil (银箔) for the magical creatures that I thought lived at the bottom of the garden. When my mother saw my work, she told me that the smaller I made things, the bigger my name would become. As the years went by, my designs became more complicated. And I used many different materials, such as diamond fragments, eyelashes and even spider web threads. I sometimes work for 16 hours a day without breaks, and it takes me up to three months to finish a sculpture(雕塑). I have to hold my breath during the sculpting process. It isn’t actually an enjoyable process—I can only enjoy it once I’ve finished it. My sculptures have taken me to incredible places. In 2012, I met the queen, giving her a tiny crown on the head of a pin. In 2013, I received my first Guinness World Record for creating the smallest sculpture made by hand. It was a 24-carat gold motorbike that fitted inside a drilled out hair. In 2017, I beat my record with a sculpture of a human fetus (胎儿) that measured 0.078mm by 0.053mm. One time, a fly landed on a Cinderella carriage sculpture I was working on. The fly’s wings blew it away, and it was lost. I was heartbroken. Another time, I accidentally breathed in a tiny Alice from Alice in Wonderland. Alice is now in Wonderland forever. But it did give me the chance to make an even better one the second time around. I was diagnosed with autism (自闭症) as an adult. In school, my teachers had pointed me out as an example of failure; now, I see my autism as a gift. It’s pushed me to be the best I can be. I hold workshops in schools for children with mental diseases, sharing with them my life and work and helping them create their own small figures out of Blu-Taok. The tiny world has always been my happy place. I’ve tried to make bigger soulptures, but small is best for me. We need to appreciate the little things in life. Small things can also be great, too. 24. Why did the author start making small sculptures? A. To become famous. B. To beat the record. C. To shelter insects. D. To meet the queen. 25. How long can the author work with one sculpture? A. Sixteen hours. B. About a year. C. About two weeks. D. Up to three months. 26. Which best explains the underlined sentence “Alice is now in Wonderland forever.” in paragraph 4? A. Alice gives me a chance to make a better one. B. The tiny Alice is lost and cannot be recovered. C. It takes diverse materials to finish the tiny Alice. D. The wonderland is so attractive that Alice won’t return. 27. What is a suitable title for the text? A. Small but powerful B. My fight with autism C. Have fun with sculpture D. The smaller, the better 【答案】24. C 25. D 26. B 27. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者从小对昆虫着迷，开始为它们建造小屋，后来逐渐发展成为制作微雕艺术品的经历。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Wanting to protect them, I started building little houses for ants, using little pieces of wood and leaves.( 为了保护它们，我开始用小块木头和树叶为蚂蚁建造小房子。)”可知，作者想要保护昆虫，所以开始为蚂蚁建造小屋，即制作小型雕塑。故选C。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中“I sometimes work for 16 hours a day without breaks, and it takes me up to three months to finish a sculpture.(我有时一天工作16个小时，不间断地工作，完成一件雕塑需要3个月的时间。)”可知，作者有时会一天工作16个小时不间断，完成一个雕塑需要长达三个月的时间。故选D。 【26题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第四段“Another time, I accidentally breathed in a tiny Alice from Alice in Wonderland.(还有一次，我不小心吸入了《爱丽丝梦游仙境》里的小爱丽丝。)”以及划线词后面的内容“But it did give me the chance to make an even better one the second time around.( 但它确实给了我第二次做一个更好的雕塑的机会。)”可知，作者不小心吸入了制作的爱丽丝雕塑，导致它丢失，无法找回，但是这确实给作者第二次做一个更好的爱丽丝雕塑的机会，因此说爱丽丝永远留在了仙境，即小爱丽丝雕塑丢失并且不能被恢复。故选B。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，文章讲述了作者从小对昆虫感兴趣，进而开始制作小型雕塑，并通过不断的努力和创新，在微雕艺术领域取得了杰出的成就。同时，作者也通过分享自己的经历和作品，鼓励人们欣赏生活中的小事物，并认识到小事物也可以具有伟大的价值。因此，A选项“Small but powerful(小而有分量)”准确地概括了文章的主旨，符合标题。故选A。 C Children can work together to reach a target that benefits a whole group even if it is at a personal cost to themselves, a new study has shown. Researchers invited groups of 6 to 10-year-olds to take part in a game where they were each given containers of water and could decide how much of it to offer into a common pool. If the group contributed a certain amount of water, it resulted in benefits for the whole group, but children also obtained benefits for any water they kept. At the same time, the participants were either given feedback about their own outcomes in the game or about everyone’s outcomes. The results showed the majority of groups achieved their objectives and cooperated until the last round of the game, even when children observed the outcomes of others within their groups. However, those who did see everyone’s outcomes were somewhat less likely to keep reaching the target as the game progressed, and differences in individual outcomes became more noticeable. Researchers say the findings provide valuable insights into how groups of people can work together to overcome challenges and demonstrate the effectiveness of setting clear targets. Dr Patricia Kanngiesser, Associate Professor in Psychology at the University of Plymouth and the study’s lead author, said:“A lot of the challenges facing society today involve choices between one’s self-interest and contributing to the greater good. That is certainly the case if we think about things like climate action, where targets can only be achieved if people and nations work together. Our study shows that working towards a clear target can produce results that finally benefit everyone. And even children as young as six can do it.” The study is the latest by Dr Kanngiesser and Plymouth colleague Dr Jan Woike to use games to study human behaviour and explore ways to promote cooperation. It also allowed them to explore findings from previous research, which showed that having the opportunity to compare own and others’ outcomes can lead to competition and decrease willingness to contribute to the common good. For the purposes of this study, children had the opportunity to talk during the game and spoke, for example, about reaching the common goal. 28. Who obtained benefits in the game? A. Only the children who kept some water. B. The children who made it to the last round. C. The participant who contributed the most water. D. The group that contributed the required amount. 29. What’s Kanngiesser’s attitude towards the targets and cooperation? A. Critical. B. Appreciative. C. Indifferent. D. Doubtful. 30. What can we infer from paragraph 5? A. Children have many challenges solving current problems. B. Researchers find valuable insights into the clear targets. C. People work together to achieve goals benefiting everyone. D. People think about climate action affecting their daily life. 31. Why does the author mention Kanngiesser and Woike? A. To offer more context of the study. B. To give examples of great professors. C. To encourage studying for the project. D. To get readers to cooperate with them. 【答案】28. D 29. B 30. C 31. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项关于儿童合作行为的研究，揭示了设定明确目标对于促进团队合作的有效性。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“If the group contributed a certain amount of water, it resulted in benefits for the whole group, but children also obtained benefits for any water they kept.(如果小组贡献了一定量的水，就会为整个小组带来好处，但孩子们保留的水也会带来好处)”可知，贡献了一定数量的水的小组会在游戏中受益。故选D项。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Our study shows that working towards a clear target can produce results that finally benefit everyone. And even children as young as six can do it.(我们的研究表明，朝着一个明确的目标努力可以产生最终使每个人受益的结果。即使是六岁的孩子也能做到这一点)”可知，Kanngiesser对目标和合作的态度是赞赏的。故选B项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第五段“It also allowed them to explore findings from previous research, which showed that having the opportunity to compare own and others’ outcomes can lead to competition and decrease willingness to contribute to the common good. For the purposes of this study, children had the opportunity to talk during the game and spoke, for example, about reaching the common goal.(它还使他们能够探讨先前研究的发现，这些研究显示，有机会比较自己和他人的结果会导致竞争，减少为共同利益做出贡献的意愿。为了这项研究的目的，孩子们在游戏过程中有机会交谈，例如，谈论实现共同目标)”可知，人们应该共同合作以实现惠及所有人的目标。故选C项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“The study is the latest by Dr Kanngiesser and Plymouth colleague Dr Jan Woike to use games to study human behaviour and explore ways to promote cooperation.(这项研究是Kanngiesser博士和普利茅斯大学同事Jan Woike博士最新的研究，他们使用游戏来研究人类行为并探索促进合作的方法)”可知，作者提到他们是为了提供更多研究背景。故选A项。 D Weather researchers are using artificial intelligence (AI) systems to improve existing weather prediction methods. But, experts say the AI tools currently face limitations and should be used along with traditional prediction methods to be most effective. AI systems trained to predict, or forecast weather events are now being used by many government agencies and organizations worldwide. Such systems aim to produce weather predictions faster and at a lower cost than traditional forecasting methods. One weather predicting system that has shown promise is the Google-financed GraphCast method. This machine learning-based system trains directly on weather data that has already been collected and examined. Such methods have demonstrated an ability to outperform traditional forecasting systems. The system works by combining past weather predictions with modern forecasting models to provide the most complete picture of weather and climate. In Europe, the European Center for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) has been using AI prediction tools since January. The organization provides detailed weather forecasts four times per day to nations across Europe. The ECMWF technology is called the Artificial Intelligence/ Integrated Forecasting System(AIFS). The group describes the system as a“data-driven” forecasting model. It is designed to make many predietions quickly, including for extreme events involving powerful storms and heatwaves. AI-supported data from the ECMWF correctly predicted intense rains last month across parts of Europe that resulted in widespread flooding. But while the predictions were right, destruction caused by the flooding could not be avoided. Experts told Reuters this is largely because it is still difficult to gather and fully utilize (利用) some collected weather data. In addition, there is a need to strengthen and improve currentAI models used to predict weather. Andrew Charlton-Perez is a professor of meteorology— the scientific study of weather processes— at the University of Reading in Britain. He told Reuters, “In some cases, AI models can beat physics-based models, but in other cases vice versa (反之亦然).” Charlton- Perez said he thinks the best use of AI-based weather forecasts would be to use them in combination with traditional weather predicting tools. This, he noted, could utilize AI data to produce weather predictions based on large sets of information collected from different sources. 32. What’s the advantage of AI weather predicting system? A. It provides detailed weather forecasts frequently. B. It can avoid extreme events including heatwaves. C. It can predict weather conditions faster at a low cost. D. It is used in all walks of life without limitations. 33. What is the purpose of AIFS? A. To avoid national floods. B. To forecast disaster destruction. C. To provide timely data. D. To predict weather events quickly. 34. What can we know about the prediction of AI-data from the ECMWF? A. It’s perfect. B. It’s precise. C. It’s much easier. D. It’s worldwide. 35. How can AI improve the weather forecast? A. By combining AI with traditional methods. B. By using AI prediction tools collectively. C. By making use of Google Graph Cast method. D. By gathering a lot of current weather data. 【答案】32. C 33. D 34. B 35. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了人工智能（AI）系统在天气预测方面的应用与局限性。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段最后一句“Such systems aim to produce weather predictions faster and at a lower cost than traditional forecasting methods.(这样的系统旨在比传统预测方法更快、成本更低地产生天气预测。)”可知，AI天气预测系统的优势在于能够更快、成本更低地预测天气情况。因此，选项C“It can predict weather conditions faster at a low cost.(能够以低成本更快地预测天气状况)”符合题意。故选C。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段第二句“It is designed to make many predictions quickly, including for extreme events involving powerful storms and heatwaves.( 它被设计为快速做出许多预测，包括针对涉及强烈风暴和热浪的极端事件的预测。)”可知，AIFS的目的是快速预测天气事件，包括极端天气。因此，选项D“To predict weather events quickly.(快速预测天气事件)”符合题意。故选D。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段最后一句“AI-supported data from the ECMWF correctly predicted intense rains last month across parts of Europe that resulted in widespread flooding.( ECMWF提供的AI支持数据准确预测了上个月欧洲部分地区的暴雨，暴雨导致了大范围的洪水。)”可知，ECMWF的AI数据预测是准确的，其预测了上个月欧洲部分地区的暴雨。因此，选项B“It’s precise.(它是精确的)”符合题意。故选B。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段最后一句“Charlton- Perez said he thinks the best use of AI-based weather forecasts would be to use them in combination with traditional weather predicting tools.( Charlton- Perez说，他认为基于AI的天气预报的最佳用途是将它们与传统天气预报工具相结合使用。)”可知，AI可以通过与传统方法相结合来改进天气预报。因此，选项A“By combining AI with traditional methods.(通过将AI与传统方法相结合)”符合题意。故选A。 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Is studying abroad a good idea or not?

The book was said to be so funny that it could make anyone laugh uncontrollably just by reading a single page. The librarian, a strict woman named Mrs. Pimpleton, guarded the book with her life, only allowing the most serious and responsible villagers to borrow it. One day, a young boy named Timmy, who was known for his infectious laughter, decided he must read this legendary book. He approached Mrs. Pimpleton with the most serious expression he could create. “I am here to borrow the funniest book in the world,” he said with a straight face. Mrs. Pimpleton, who had never seen Timmy without a smile, was surprised. She hesitated but finally handed over the book, warning him, “This book is not to be laughed at in public. The laughter it causes is uncontrollable and could lead to chaos (混乱).” Timmy nodded seriously and took the book home. He locked himself in his room, opened the book, and started reading. The first page was a series of funny jokes. Timmy’s eyes widened, and his lips twitched (颤动) as he tried to hold back the laughter that was popping up inside him. But each joke was more amusing than the last. He tried again to hold back his laughter, pressing his hands against his mouth, but it was no use. He laughed so hard that his belly (肚子) ached. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 His laughter was so loud that it rang through the village. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ In the end, the entire village was in a state of uncontrollable laughter. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 His laughter was so loud that it rang through the village. Villagers stopped in their tracks, puzzled and curious. Timmy’s friends gathered outside his window, and soon the baker, the tailor, and even the mayor were outside, wondering what was causing such a commotion. Mrs. Pimpleton rushed to Timmy’s house, fearing the worst. Inside, Timmy was rolling on the floor, tears of joy streaming down his cheeks. The laughter was so contagious that when Mrs. Pimpleton opened the door, she too found herself caught in a fit of giggles. In the end, the entire village was in a state of uncontrollable laughter. It started with a chuckle, then a guffaw, until everyone was doubled over, experiencing the joy that the legendary book brought. For the first time in years, the village of Whimsy was united in laughter, breaking the everyday routine. As the laughter slowly subsided, Mrs. Pimpleton looked around at the smiling faces and realized that perhaps, just this once, the chaos was worth it. She smiled at Timmy, acknowledging the special power of a shared laugh. 【解析】 【分析】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了一个名叫Timmy的小男孩对传奇笑话书的好奇与探寻，最终引发全村人一起欢笑的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“他的笑声响彻整个村子。”可知，第一段可描写Timmy的笑声如何触动其他村民，产生连锁反应，并吸引他们一同参与这场欢乐的盛宴。 ②由第二段首句内容“最后，整个村子都陷入了无法抑制的笑声。”可知，第二段可描写最后整个村庄沉浸在笑声中，连严格的Mrs. Pimpleton都被这种笑声感染，决定与所有人分享这份欢乐，通过阅读活动让村民共聚分享。 2.续写线索：笑声蔓延——村民好奇——加入笑声——全村欢乐——笑声减弱——恢复安宁——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①大笑：laugh loudly/burst into laughter/laugh heartily ②试图：attempt/try/make an effort ③冲：rush/crash/rapid 情绪类 ①快乐：joy/happiness/delight ②困惑的：puzzled/confused/troubled 【点睛】[高分句型1] Timmy’s friends gathered outside his window, and soon the baker, the tailor, and even the mayor were outside, wondering what was causing such a commotion.(由现在分词wondering作状语和连接词what引导的宾语从句作wonder的宾语) [高分句型2] It started with a chuckle, then a guffaw, until everyone was doubled over, experiencing the joy that the legendary book brought.(由连词until引导时间状语从句和that引导的定语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
